Is she frienemies now with Ramona? “It’s a process. I’ve known her for a long time and you don’t just throw away friendship. We’ve gone through a lot – divorces, she was at my husband’s funeral, raised children together, so this isn’t a “Housewife Friendship,” this is a 20 year relationship.”

On Ramona prodding Bethenny into bringing up the John/Viagra story, Dorinda says “I don’t know what the point was. There’s certain things in life you just keep private. I don’t believe it, the story doesn’t track. But it doesn’t matter, I don’t think as women and as girlfriends that empower each other you ambush people like that. I wouldn’t and I know a LOT of secrets about a lot of people. I think it’s best if you have concerns to do it one on one.”

On why she thinks Bethenny is “targeting” Jules Wainstein this season, “When Bethenny meets someone she is like visiting the internist, you gotta stick your tongue out and bend over and cough. She wants to find out everything she can. Bethenny’s actually a very good person deep down but she comes off sometimes being very cruel. I think she thinks it’s humor but it’s not, it’s hurtful. Jules is new and she became the easy target. It’s painful to watch.”

On Bethenny telling the story about Dorinda being carried out of a party and drinking all summer, she says what Bethenny did may be good for the show but, “it’s just not true.” She says, “I literally leave for the Berkshires and spend months on end there, I went to the Hamptons ONCE. We’ve never gone out with Bethenny, so all of these accusations are just so unfounded and they’re so aggressive that it’s not only harmful, it’s hurtful and defamatory. I’m having a difficult time knowing how to respond.” Dorinda feels there’s some fascination or obsession that she just can’t get her hands around. She says, “John was horrified because he’s quite nice to Bethenny, like right now he’s trying to help her out with a situation she has. He’s not a mean person. We’re just not generally mean people.”

Dorinda then says that Bethenny has blocked her on Twitter. “What is the point of that? It’s just so aggressive, I just had lunch with her two weeks ago.”

She says the good news is that it’s not just her Bethenny is after this season and she gets out of the line of fire pretty soon in upcoming episodes.
